II Samuela 4
1 A LOHE ae la ke keiki a Saula, ua make o Abenera ma Heberona, palupalu iho la kona mau lima, a pihoihoi ka Iseraela a pau.
Now, when Ish-bosheth son of Saul heard that Abner had died in Hebron, his hands became feeble, —and, all Israel, were dismayed.
2 Aia na kanaka elua no ke keiki a Saula, he mau lunakoa; o Baana ka inoa o kekahi, a o Rekaba ka inoa o kekahi; na keiki laua a Rimona no Beerota no na mamo a Beniamina; (no ka mea, ua helu pu ia o Beerota me ka Beniamina;
And two men, captains of bands, pertained to Ish-bosheth son of Saul—the name of the one, was Baanah, and, the name of the other, Rechab—sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the sons of Benjamin, —for, even Beeroth, used to be reckoned unto Benjamin;
3 Holo aku la na kanaka o Beerota i Gitaima, a ua noho malihini lakou ilaila, a hiki i neia manawa.)
and the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, —and have been sojourners there, until this day.
4 A o Ionatana ke keiki a Saula, nana no kekahi keikikane, ua oopa ma kona mau wawae. Elima ona mau makahiki i ka wa i hiki aku ai ka olelo no Saula a no Ionatana mai Iezereela aku, a kaikai aku la kona kahu ia ia, a holo aku la: a i kona wikiwiki ana e holo aku, haule iho la kela a oopa iho la. O Mepiboseta kona inoa.
And, Jonathan, son of Saul, had a son, lame of his feet, —five years old, was he, when tidings came in of Saul and Jonathan from Jezreel, so his nurse took him up, and fled, and it came to pass, when she started up to flee, that he fell and was lamed, and, his name, was, Mephibosheth.
5 Hele aku la o Rekaba a me Baana na keiki a Rimona no Beerota, a hoi mai la laua i ka hale o Iseboseta i ka manawa i wela ai ka la, a e moe ana ia ma ka moe i ke awakea.
So then the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, took their journey and came in, about the heat of the day, unto the house of Ish-bosheth, —when, he, was lying on his noonday couch;
6 Hele aku la laua ilaila iwaena konu o ka hale, e like me ke kii i ka hua palaoa; a hou aku la laua ia ia malalo iho o ka lima o ka iwiaoao: a pakele aku la o Rekaba a me Baana kona hoahanau.
and, thither, entered they as fro as the middle of the house, to fetch wheat, and they smote him in the belly, —and, Rechab and Baanah his brother, escaped.
7 No ka mea, i ko laua hele ana aku iloko o ka hale, e moe ana ia maluna o kona moe iloko o kona keena moe, hou aku la laua ia ia, a make ia; a oki iho la laua i kona poo, a holoholo aku la ma ka papu a ao ka po.
Thus they entered the house when, he, was lying on his bed, in his sleeping-chamber, and smote him, and slew him, and beheaded him, —and took his head, and journeyed by way of the waste plain all the night;
8 Lawe mai la laua i ke poo o Iseboseta io Davida la i Heberona, i mai la i ke alii, Eia ke poo o Iseboseta ke keiki a Saula, o kou enemi, nana i imi mai i kou ola. I keia la, ua hoopai mai o Iehova maluna o Saula a me kana hua, no kuu haku no ke alii.
and brought in the head of Ish-bosheth unto David, at Hebron, and said unto the king, Lo! the head of Ish-bosheth son of Saul, thine enemy, who sought thy life: so hath Yahweh given to my lord the king, avengement this day, on Saul and on his seed.
9 Olelo aku la Davida ia Rekaba a me Baana kona hoahanau, na keiki a Rimona no Beerota, i aku la ia laua, Ma ko Iehova ola ana, nana i hoopakele i kuu oia i ka popilikia a pau,
Then David responded to Rechab and Baanah his brother, sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said unto them, —By the life of Yahweh, who hath redeemed my soul out of all distress,
10 A hai mai la kekahi ia'u, i ka i ana mai, Aia ua make o Saula, e manao ana ia he olelo maikai kana ia'u, lalau aku la au ia ia, a pepehi iho la ia ia ma Zikelaga: oia iho la ka uku a'u i haawi aku ai ia ia no kana olelo ana:
when he that brought tidings to me, saying, Lo! Saul is dead, though, he, was as one that bringeth good tidings, in his own eyes, yet I seized him, and slew him in Ziklag, —which was how I gave him reward for his tidings:
11 Oia aku no, a i pepehi iho na kanaka hewa i ke kanaka pono maloko o kona hale maluna o Kona moe iho; aole anei au e hoopai koke aku i kona koko ma ko olua mau lima, a e kaili aku ia olua mai ka honua aku?
how much more, when, lawless men, have slain a righteous person, in his own house, upon his bed? …Now, therefore, must I not require his blood at your hands, and so consume you, out of the earth?
12 Kena aku la Davida i na kanaka opiopio ona, a pepehi aku la lakou ia laua, a oki iho la i ko laua mau lima a me na wawae, a kau aku la ia laua maluna ma ka punawai o Heberona. A lawe ae la lakou i ke poo o Iseboseta, a kanu iho la iloko o ka hale kupapau o Abenera ma Heberona.
David therefore commanded the young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands, and their feet, and hanged them up over the pool, in Hebron, —but, the head of Ish-bosheth, took they, and buried in the grave of Abner, in Hebron.
